Celebrating Songkran in Chiang Mai: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity
Songkran in Chiang Mai is a mix of tradition and modernity. It is a time to pay respect to elders and visit temples, as well as a time to have fun and celebrate life.
Yee Peng and Loi Krathong Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai 2019
Every November, for a few days, the night sky and rivers in northern Thailand light up. Like enormous fireflies drifting into the distance, lanterns fill the visual field and the rivers are alight with tiny lights, adding to the dazzling effect.
Air Quality in Chiang Mai
Air pollution is a problem that generally affects Chiang Mai region starting from the end of February or early March up until the first steady rainfall after the Thai New Year Songkran in the middle or end of April. The major factor is slash-and-burn agriculture.
Hill tribes of northern Thailand and ethnic tourism
Today, as the hill tribes live in close proximity to the Thai people, they could end up being assimilated over the next generation or two. Therefore, they are in danger of losing their culture, artefacts and ways of life. This would be a big loss for northern Thailand since the hill tribes are a great part of our regional history.
No more elephant riding
In accordance with our eco practices, we will no longer offer elephant riding on any of our tours. Our guests will still be able to get up close and personal with these gentle giants and spend some time with them which will be equally as enjoyable for humans and elephants. No more work for the elephants, just loads of fun!
